Kenya Nelson Kafati Geography Project



introduction in this project i am going to talk about Kenya. Kenya is 569,140 sq km land wide. The country is in a LEDC state, which means it is a less economically developed country. It borders Ethiopia, Somalia,South Sudan, Tanzania, and Uganda. if you are well located geographically, by seeing its borders, you may realize the country is in the beautiful continent of Africa. The country is not currently at its best economic standards, making it difficult for the population to survive. the country is relatively poor. in this project you will be able to observe Kenya's statistics.

STATISTICS population

People in Kenya are called Kenyans. they speak a large amount of languages. between them they speak English witch it is a mayor language in the country, also known as official, Kiswahili(which it is the official language), and other minor languages. People have different types of religions, between all, there are, roman catholics, protestants, muslims, indigenous beliefs etc.

Birth rates

is 31.93 births/1000 population (2012) this may be because the country is very poor, and most of the people do not have enough resources to survive.

death rates 7.26/1000 deaths (2012) that may be because there are a lot of diseases due to sanitation, and improper health care in the whole country. Compared to other countries in Africa, the country is a little more stable then all the others.

net migration rate -0.23/1000 (2012) migrant from the country. so this is probably stating, almost nobody wants to visit the country, and the country's economy is not raised by incoming population.

infant mortality rate

43.61/1000 (2012) males are 48.41/1000 female 38.71 /1000 this is the rate of newborn babies before reaching one year who die along their extremely short lives. In this country this is a big case because people are having babies, this is due because the lack of education the people have. People do not afford any entretainment so they desire to entertain themselves with the traditional sexual way. they also cannot afford protection. in may cases the parents cannot take care of their new born babies, so they die of diseases , sicknesses, and hunger.

population growth rate

43,013,341 (july12 2012) This is the population in kenya at recent July 2012.

life expectancy

total population: 63.07 years country comparison to the world:

[|177]

male: 61.62 years female: 64.55 years (2012 est.)

In this section you may observe the life expectancy of the citizens in Kenya. As you may observe, the term of life of this people is relatively short. Jn males, due to investigation i could conclude that almost always female life is a little longer in time period based on the life expectancy. 63 years old is a really short period of time based on the other countries comparison. this may be due to the fact, people do not have a health insurance. Kenya is so poor people are not able to get food, so they suffer from hunger. people do not get the nutrients to survive. surviving in such a country is really hard for the poor people, and most of the population in Kenya, are poor economically.

 Q U E S T I O N S

Citizens from the country of Kenya have a really hard lifestyle. the lifestyle in this country is not privileged like the life of many people in other countries of the world. people have to fight for their lives and for their family even harder everyday. people suffer from hunger, sanitation issues, and health. They also suffer with food crisis. The food most people get in this places is mostly not clean. NO definitely no, people suffer from lots of diseases, they cannot afford medicine. the government does not gives them any medical treatments. so they often are exposed to sickness environments. The nutrition is not good at all, they are often intro food crisis, where most of the population (which is relatively poor) suffers from hunger.
 * • § what kind of lifestyle do people in this country have?
 * • do people in this country have access to good health care, nutrition, and education?
 * • does this country have a young or old population?

It has a young population. The life expectancy of the citizens of the population in Kenya is 63 years old. What stage of the Demographic Transition Model this country is in and if it is an MEDC (More Economically Developed Country) or an LEDC (Less EDC). It is in a LEDC People in Kenya suffer from aids, in 2009, 1.5 million people were diagnosed with aids. This may be due to people with no sanitation, people suffer from lots of diseases, they cannot afford medicines, and are not exposed to a clean environment.
